Told without words, this surrealistic animation tale of supernatural power, temptation, greed and violence is adapted from Michel Tremblay's short story The Devil and the Mushroom. The plot involves a shrewd and sinister stranger who, through his knowledge of individuals' weaknesses, transforms a quiet, idyllic village into the scene of a phantasmagoric nightmare. One of a number of animated films drawn from well-known short stories. Film without words.
